Deflection in Chess Breaks the Defense

♟ In this video, I explain the deflection (a chess tactic) using real games with live analysis.
You’ll learn how to create a deflection, win material, and put your opponent under immediate pressure. We’ll go through clear examples, typical patterns, and common mistakes, so you can start spotting deflections in your own games.

💁‍♂️ I’m Maksim Schekachikhin, International Master and chess coach.
In this lesson, I’ll show you one of the most important tactical ideas in chess — deflection.
